System and method for suppressing radio frequency transmissions
First Claim
1. A system for variable suppression of radio frequency transmissions, the system comprising:
- a transmitter unit that;
(i) generates one or more suppressing signals within at least one frequency band, wherein the one or more suppressing signals are output through an antenna to a volume of influence, and(ii) changes the volume of influence during operation of the transmitter unit to reduce a possibility of detection of the volume of influence, the transmitter unit comprising;
a power source port that enables a power source to be operatively coupled to the transmitter unit to provide power to the transmitter unit; and
an antenna port that enables the antenna to be operatively coupled to the transmitter unit.

Abstract
A system and method for suppressing radio frequency (“RF”) transmissions includes a transmitter for transmitting electronic signals that suppresses (e.g., prevents, disrupts, jams, interferes with or otherwise disables) RF transmissions. Some embodiments of the invention include a transmitter that suppresses one or more signals transmitted from a target transmitter in an RF transmission system to a target receiver in a wireless device operating in the RF transmission system to prevent, disrupt, jam, interfere with or otherwise disable an RF transmission between the target transmitter and the target receiver in the wireless device (i.e., target wireless device). These systems and methods may be used to interrupt communication, command and control of non-friendly combatant. These systems and methods may also be used to suppress RF transmissions to prevent the detonation of improvised explosive devices, or IEDs.
